Today's twin mangles were contributed by John Holloway.
John says that Tesco in Lee Mill, Devon, put up these signs after complaints about the previous signage, which indicated the location of 'CONFECTIONARY'.
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
